Helis to convert

Reading one of my friends(Joe) report about convertinghelicopters I got a lot of inspiration.Visiting my local second hand shop and also thecandy store recently really paid off.I found two helicopters in bad condition but this isno big obstacle when you are planing to convert.The "red" helis were in different scales and I intend tobuild them as troop-transport and heavy duty.They cost me only 2 Euro each and this is a bargainin my opinion.My second find was two gunships that were stuffedwith candy.I visited the candy-shop to buy somechocolate for my oldest daughter but I couldn´tfind the right brand and then I stumbled on thetwo gunships and for only 1 Euro each I couldn´tresist a buy. All models will be converted andfitted with more guns and details and will bepainted in dark shades of grey, dark-green andlight blue. This will be a fun project and the finishedmodels will be used for SoTR, Fallout skirmish andother future-wars.

Thankyou very much Joe.I intend to put in a lot of work on these models to get that personal and worn down look.First I will fit the gunships with MG-cupolas under the cockpit and it will also be updated with interiors and pilots.
